After finishing these tasks, Ye Yiming stood up satisfied.
It was already five o'clock, and Ye Yiming went to pick up Yiyi from school. The father and daughter went to the market and bought a lot of ingredients: sweet and sour ribs, three delicacies, and lotus root rib soup. With two dishes and one soup, this dinner was quite sumptuous, making Yiyi drool as she eagerly waited at the door for her mother to return.
Before long, Luo Qi came back. Seeing her daughter waiting at the door, Luo Qi quickly masked her disappointment and forced a smile. However, when she saw the table full of delicious dishes, she frowned slightly. "I haven't sold a single item on WeChat Business Treasure; the situation at home isn't optimistic. We need to save money where we can, especially since I still have to pay off your usury."
"Qiqi, take a look at WeChat Business Treasure..."
"I'm not in the mood."
Before Ye Yiming could finish his sentence, Luo Qi interrupted him: "Yiyi is hungry; let's eat first!"
"Okay..."
Ye Yiming paused and didn't continue. After all, Luo Qi would eventually notice the changes on WeChat Business Treasure.
The family of three gathered around the small round table for dinner when Luo Qi suddenly said, "I have something to do tomorrow; Yiyi has a school field trip, so you don't need to cook for us."
"Oh... alright."
Ye Yiming responded.
The atmosphere fell into silence, with only the sound of Yiyi eating making a "smack" noise.
There were no more words exchanged that night.
The next day, Ye Yiming bought some cookies for Yiyi and took her to join her kindergarten field trip. When he returned home, Luo Qi had already left.
Ye Yiming tidied up and headed to Black Swan Hotel. Chen Jianguo encountered a little mishap on the way, so Ye Yiming entered first.
Before long, three people arrived at Black Swan Hotel.
It was indeed the Luo family of three!
Zhang Guifen was dressed in a Cheongsam, her face adorned with heavy makeup. Luo Chenglong wore a suit, his hair slicked back neatly. Luo Qi had put on a bit of makeup, her beauty surpassing that of many glamorous women, instantly drawing the attention of several onlookers as she made her entrance.
“Mom, where are we sitting?” Luo Qi asked cautiously, feeling a bit out of place in such an extravagant hotel for the first time.
Zhang Guifen turned to Luo Chenglong and asked, “Jackie Chan, can you call Director Zhang and check?”
“Sure thing.”
After making the call, Luo Chenglong said, “Director Zhang wants us to wait for him in the lobby.”
“I’ll go to the restroom first,” Luo Qi said before heading off.
Zhang Guifen and Luo Chenglong wandered around the lobby, their eyes drawn to a staircase on the left covered in red carpet. On either side of the staircase stood several women in Cheongsams, bowing and greeting those who stepped onto the red carpet.
Zhang Guifen's gaze was filled with curiosity as she asked, “Jackie Chan, what’s that place over there?”
“You mean that?” Luo Chenglong licked his dry lips and replied, “That’s a business banquet. Only prominent figures from Nan Feng can attend.”
“Can Director Zhang get in?” Zhang Guifen inquired.
Luo Chenglong nodded. “Director Zhang is the vice president of Tian Nan Xing Technology Company; of course he can get in!”
“Oh! That’s wonderful! Once your sister marries Director Zhang, we’ll be part of high society. We’ll be able to attend events like this every day!”
“Exactly… It’s such a waste for someone as beautiful as her to marry Ye Yiming.”
As Zhang Guifen and Luo Chenglong indulged in their fantasies, they completely failed to notice their surroundings. Suddenly, they turned and collided head-on with someone coming down the stairs.
“I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry…”
Luo Chenglong quickly bowed in apology, frightened; anyone who could walk down that staircase was either wealthy or influential, and he certainly couldn’t afford to offend them!
Zhang Guifen quickly apologized for her son, saying, "Sir, I am truly sorry! My son wasn't paying attention while walking and accidentally bumped into you..."
She had only spoken half of her sentence when she clearly saw the face of the person in front of her, and she froze in shock.
"Ye Yiming... How could it be you?"
